Share your thoughts with other couples
Christina and Dawn guided us expertly through the craziness of 2020 and, even though our plan changed, the bride and groom ended up with their dream wedding - meant to be. They responded promptly and were never too busy to offer the best advice...
and ideas and to reassure about any concerns we had. They have the perfect personalities to help you with you wedding - calm and confident at all times and 100% on top of everything. They worked tirelessly and the day went off perfectly. Such a huge gift to be able to be fully present in the moment while they managed every detail. Booking them was the best decision we made when we began planning - go book them now!! We’re so glad we did!!!!
My first officiant cancelled on us 16 days before the ceremony and we were panicked! Christina was available and even on such short notice. We had already customized our ceremony and she was completely agreeable to use it as we had designed. Sh...
e was very professional and readily available with questions or concerns. She’s kind and has a gentle presence. The ceremony was perfect and she did a fantastic job. Thank you for rescuing us and helping make for such a special day!
My daughter was recently married, and we decided to go with a wedding planner. I looked up reviews like I usually do and decided A Beautiful Day By Christina was the one. I met with Christina and Dawn and immediately felt like we had 2 profess...
ional and experienced ladies working with us. We had a lot of things taken care of as far as planning, but they were so inspiring and knowledgeable about things we had not dealt with before. Christina was helpful in the beginning stages of our collaboration as far as contacting the vendors to get their commitments, expectations and arrival times confirmed along with providing us with information in areas where we needed help. She and Dawn then came up with the timeline for wedding day and rehearsal. Dawn and her daughter were with us for rehearsal and wedding day and provided us so much help, guiding us through a very hectic couple days. Dawn led the rehearsal and helped set up the night before. She was also with us early the wedding day applying the finishing touches and making sure everybody had what they needed. I really do not know what I would have done without her! Dawn continually let me know that as the Mother of the Bride, I was to relax and that she had everything covered, and she really did! I cannot thank Dawn and Christina enough for making my daughter's day so special!!
Dawn saved our wedding! If you are looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make sure your wedding is a great time, work with Dawn. She was personally and passionately involved in all aspects of the panning and execution process and ...
we were so thankful to have her in our corner. Dawn hooked us up with great local connections to find an outstanding caterer at a good price, get or make yard games, find last minute flowers and decorations and more. She met with us at the venue several times to brainstorm, floor plan, and walk through our ceremony and reception. She helped us plan a detailed schedule for the rehearsal and wedding day that really fit with our vision. On the wedding day when our outdoor plans got rained out, Dawn worked with our friends and family to move everything inside, so we didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day - and when the rain stopped just long enough, she moved the whole ceremony outside again, which is what my wife really wanted. During the whole day, Dawn kept things running smoothly and made sure everyone had a great time. She even sent us on our honeymoon with a doggie bag of left overs and wine. Dawn is kind, patient, organized, flexible, and works hard. We couldn't ask for a better wedding coordinator and we couldn't have done it without her. Thank you Dawn!
Christina has been such a wonderful asset as we've been planning a wedding during a pandemic! I relied on her opinion and feedback so much before we made the decision to postpone. I was emailing her regularly and she was always so quick to resp...
ond with positivity, optimism and support! We even set up an evening call to talk through my "pro-con" list and she patiently walked with me through all of my concerns. She has been incredibly supportive during this process and we are looking forward to continuing to work with her as we plan our postponed wedding next year!

Thank you, Taylor for your kind words. I am up for The Knot Best of Weddings award and every review helps toward that goal. It's been a pleasure so far to assist you in having a beautiful wedding day.

dination while Christina was at the altar officiating, and she did a phenomenal job. They both checked in frequently throughout the entire planning process, offered assistance when they could and were always available for questions and advice. They also did a fantastic job at keeping us on track with the needed last minute planning details to ensure we had everything ready as we got close to our big day. I will recommend Christina and Lyndsi to everyone I can! She wrote the most beautiful ceremony that was very special and unique to fit our vision and delivered it flawlessly. We have received so many compliments about our ceremony and we could not be happier. I can say with confidence that our weekend would not have been the same without their support and we cannot thank and recommend them enough!
My husband and I hired Christina as our day of coordinator and it was by far one of the best decisions that we made during the wedding planning process. We had done the majority of our wedding planning ourselves, but as we got closer to our wed...
ding date we realized we needed someone to coordinate all of our details and vendors the day of our wedding and run our rehearsal to make sure our wedding party knew what to do during our ceremony. Not only did Christina and her assistant Kristy do the above mentioned, they went over and beyond in the couple months leading up to our big day. They recommended vendors for things we had not booked yet as well as helped with several issues that we had with our venue and caterer. She will truly be the best advocate for you during your wedding planning and on your wedding day. Our wedding day definitely wouldn’t have ran as smoothly as it did if I hadn’t hired Christina and Kristy!
We hired A Beautiful Day by Christina as our Day of Wedding Coordinator! Christina (herself) was not available for our wedding date but her right hand girl (Kristy) was! Kristy was such a pleasure to work with. She checked in with me throughou...
t the whole process seeing if I needed any help, offered suggestions, and always answered any questions I had. She took my vision for my wedding day and how I wanted everything decorated and brought it to life! Everything looked better than I could have dreamed of! Even though Kristy was my main point of contact - Christina checked in with me often to see how everything was going. They were so sweet and having them help take care of the wedding day schedule, coordinating timelines with other vendors, decorating and cleanup helped so much. I highly recommend to any bride to use them as your wedding coordinator! You won't be disappointed!
When I first decided to hire a wedding planner, my mom was skeptical. After the fact, my mom agreed that it was money well spent. Christina and Kristy were fantastic! They were always available to answer any questions I had and once I had booke...

My husband and I live in FL, so when planning an out of state wedding in NC, it was great knowing I had the extra help I needed!
We absolutely loved working with Kristy and Christina for day-of coordination. They made us feel comfortable and like we were in capable hands from the moment we first met. We had a short time to set up so they were very hands on with helping...

Christina and Kristy were lifesavers for our big day! They were extremely organized and helpful through the whole planning and wedding day process. I highly recommend A Beautiful Day by Christina if you want a stress-free wedding!
Christina and Kristy were fantastic! With my daughter living 4+ hours from me and the venue, we needed to reduce the stress level - so we hired A Beautiful Day by Christina. They did not fail us! They reviewed vendor contracts, suggested ven...
dors, answered tons of questions, helped with the room layout, and beautifully organized the day of the wedding. It was a worry-free day for all of us, which is definitely what you want on such a special day. Thanks so much for making the day wonderful.
I cannot say enough good things about Christina and Kristy! They responded to my many questions in a timely manner, and went out of their way to make sure my wedding day was everything I had ever dreamed. With all her experience, Christina knew...
what questions to ask vendors to make sure I was getting the best deals in my contracts. Kristy helped me to visualize my wedding by creating the room layout when my venue manager failed to do so. During the wedding day, they both made sure that I was not bothered with questions from vendors, and that everything ran smoothly. It was honestly the best day ever and I'm so glad that I got to work with them!
I was recently at a wedding that Christina organized, and it was absolutely perfect! The details were well thought out, and the day went so smoothly. Everything was gorgeous, and I would highly recommend her to any future brides!
Christina did a great job handling our wedding yesterday. She took the time to synchronize with all other vendors about a week or two prior to our event. This ensured everyone was on the same page regarding timelines and how things work the d...

Along with being our day of coordinator, Christina was also our officiant for the ceremony. She helped us come up with a beautiful ceremony, and allowed us to customize it to what we wanted.
We definitely recommend her for any wedding event
We loved working with Christina and Kristy! I can't emphasize enough how great it is to have someone--in this case, two someones!--taking care of those last minute details both day of and vendor confirmations prior to the wedding! Thank you for...

Hiring Christina and her team was one of the best decisions that I made. She was very detailed oriented, handled all situations in a professional and prompt manner and was extremely cooperative . I could not have been more pleased.
Christina provided the absolute best day of coordination I could have ever dreamed of. She truly went above and beyond what we had originally discussed to make my wedding day run smoothly and how I saw it! I cannot recommend Christina’s service...

Best wishes always,

Christina and Kristy were AMAZING in helping me plan my wedding. Having to plan a wedding from halfway across the country was super stressful, but Christina was there to help alleviate any stress I had. She always responded super timely. A coup...
le of days before the wedding, our transportation had a hiccup. Christina worked on a solution with the company prior to telling me, so once I was informed of the situation the issue had already been resolved!! On the day of my wedding, they were exactly on time if not early, and helped everything run smoothly. If any issues arose, they handled it without throwing it at me which was much needed. I honestly cannot imagine the day of my wedding without Christina and Kristy there.

I can't possibly describe how much of a big help Christina and her team was for us. Not only was she so cooperative and went out of her way to help us with our plans, she even helped shift everything around on the fly at the last minute when th...
e weather became a bit uncooperative. On top of that, anything that came up during the ceremony was handled wonderfully and without a trace of trouble. She delivered wonderfully in making sure everything was organized, completed efficiently and I couldn't have been any happier to have had her. Our wedding day, even despite the rainy conclusion was still a beautiful day completed by Christina. I highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding planner, you can't go wrong choosing Christina. She goes above and beyond to make your day not just special, but complete and fulfilling and I am proud to have met her and for her to have helped make my wedding so wonderful.
Christina went out of her way to make our day extra special! It was perfect from beginning to end. She promised to eliminate the stress on me as the bride and did exactly that! Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectation.
Christina helped plan my daughter's wedding. I truly enjoyed working with her. She was very knowledgeable. I never had to worry about anything because I knew she would handle everything. She was available to answer any question; if she didn...
't know the answer, she found out and got back to us quickly. I would highly recommend Christina!
Wonderful! She made our ceremony so special!
We worked with Christina for about a year to plan our wedding. She was fabulous! I have already recommended her to all my friends. I was really nervous about having a wedding, but Christina made everything so easy. Whenever I had a question, I ...
was able to text her. She was always available to answer my questions. She caught things on contracts that I never would have thought about. She was so organized and cared so much about making sure I had the best wedding possible. I cannot brag on Christina enough. I would recommend her to everyone. Thanks to Christina, no issues arose on the day of the wedding; it was her mission to make the day as smooth as possible. I wish I could give her more than five stars!
Christina and Maria made our special day so perfectly wonderful. My husband and I are a military family currently living overseas in Japan and both Maria and Christina helped plan our day from afar. They are extremely detail oriented and took i...
nto consideration every thing we hoped and wished for on our big day. I didn't need to worry about a single thing the day of-- they took care of the decor, arrangements and seating our guests! I couldn't have picked a better officiant or planner for our wedding!
Christina and her awesome assistant Maria were lovely to work with. Technically, A Beautiful Day by Christina provided us with Day-of wedding coordination. However, their services extended beyond that; Christina made herself available to answ...
er questions and provide advice months ahead of time and they both spent extra hours helping to set up our *very* detailed reception decor the day before the wedding. The week prior, I must have texted Maria a hundred times with last minute questions and requests; she handled every single one with poise and enthusiasm and was a constant source of reassurance. As the bride, I could trust that everything would be handled as needed on the wedding day, and the ability to have that confidence was truly priceless.
Thank you so much Christina and Maria! Christina officiated our wedding and was so nice to work with. She was very professional and easy to work with. She provided my husband and I with a special ceremony that fit our personalities perfectly! T...
hank you so much for helping us create such a special day - I don't think there was a dry eye in the room after the hands ceremony!
Maria did an amazing job helping coordinate everything on the day of! It would not have happened without her! She was a huge help, and so nice to work with!
I would not think twice about recommending you!
I cannot imagine what my wedding would have been like without the help of A Beautiful Day By Christina. We used her services as both our Day-Of Coordinator and our Officiant. I always thought it would be stressful deciding on a wedding ceremony...
but Christina made it so easy by showing us examples of past ceremonies and ways to make them unique to us. Christina and her assistant Maria were both present on our wedding day and they made sure everything ran very smoothly. We were able to relax and have fun without having to worry about making sure the right music was playing or when it was time to dance or cut the cake or any of the other little details. Christina and Maria were also helpful with contacting the vendors leading up to the wedding day. I will recommend A Beautiful Day By Christina to all my friends when they get married!
I first found Christina when I began my wedding planning process a year and a half ago. Over that time frame, she made wedding planning so so so easy and fun! She was available practically 24/7 for etiquette questions, stressful moments, and wa...
s there for me when our initial reception venue canceled on us. She contacted all my vendors for me, and as a graduating senior from UNC, this help was so appreciated. She was also able to corral my many many relatives at the rehearsal and make the rehearsal go smoothly, and we felt prepared for the big day! During the ceremony, she kept me relaxed and took care of everything. During the reception, she came to my rescue when red wine was spilled on my wedding dress, and helped us with a quick and quiet getaway. I love Christina and highly recommend her to any other couples! She's also very reasonably priced for the area and recommended the best vendors for hair, DJ, makeup, and videography. Booking with Christina also ensures a discount on beautiful paper goods for the wedding through Carlson Craft. My husband and I had gorgeous wedding invitations and shower invitations thanks to her!
We hired Christina for our day-of coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. Starting months before the wedding, she was available for any questions I had, big or small. She even looked over the contracts of our other vendors to make sure we w...
eren't being taken advantage of. She did a planning meeting months ahead of time to make sure we had all the big stuff squared away and help us pick out the best place to set up the ceremony and reception. On the day of the wedding, she set everything up and organized the wedding party for the ceremony. She also coordinated with the DJ to make the reception go smoothly. She is also an ordained minister if you need one. We already had an officiant, but Christina wrote a beautiful ceremony and vows for us at no additional charge. She went above and beyond in every way, and our day was absolutely perfect thanks to her! Highly highly recommend here!
Christina was beyond amazing! My wedding planner got the rehearsal day mixed up and didn't show. Luckily for us, Christina was there. She took charge and did way more than what was asked of her. If it wasn't for her, I would've completely lost ...
it. We are truly grateful to have her as our officiant.
Christina was very helpful! She is so personable. She is great at communicating with me, whether it's email, text or calling. She has helpful advice that can cater to your wedding beautifully. She does not just work with her brain; she works wi...

Christina made sure my daughter's wedding day was a beautiful experience for everyone. From the early planning stages she made herself available by phone, email, and direct meetings. She provided realistic advice and opinions when asked, and ...
I really appreciate this about her. She didn't just throw sunshine and daisies our way, she really delivered. She went out of her way to make sure we were happy with all aspects of the event. On the Big Day, she stayed until the very last detail was completed. Her services were worth every cent.
Christina and Susan were fun to work with! They responded to my questions and needs in a very reasonable time frame. They are very professional and tried to make sure that I was stress free.
Christina was so helpful and took care of every detail. We had never been to Anna Maria and she gave us excellent recommendations for local vendors. I was nervous not being able to meet the vendors, but each one that we worked with provided exc...
ellent service. Our initial choice of photographer was not able to photograph our wedding. Christina arranged for a photographer on short notice and we were so pleased with her work. She also had a backup officiant on-call when ours was injured the morning of the wedding. Christina clearly has a relationship with the local vendors and takes care of every thing needed. We were so thrilled with how our wedding was stress free and perfect for us and our family. Cheryl and Eric
Great team - made my day come together just as I imagined. The team is very flexible and adapt to any challenge that may arrive!
Christina was our wedding planner for 3/2/13 and I am so glad we chose her! Christina was very helpful and offered great advice that relieved a lot of our stresses. Christina was very easy to communicate with as well as very responsive. She met...
with us several times even when she lived at least 45 minutes away. On our wedding day, I was almost stress free. She took care of all details of the wedding and all I did was enjoyed being a bride. She took care of all communications with our vendors and made sure everyone was on time and up to par on the day. Christina, I have told you many times but I still wanted to thank you again for helping us with our wedding. Not only are you affordable for all the work that you put in, but you are very organized and contributed so much to our big day. Again, thank you so much and I would recommended her service to any bride who wants an almost stress free wedding day.

Christina was wonderful to work with. She was always available by phone or email when needed. Christina was willing to meet me and my mother before my wedding to go over details and arrangements. (We flew in to see location and set up appointme...

Our wedding was on April 17, 2010 at the Tradewinds Resort and we hired Christina early on to help us with all of the planning. That was the smartest move we made. She was wonderful right from the beginning and was there for us every step of th...
e way all the way to the end of the reception. She went with us to help pick out flowers and decide on cakes but she never tried to sway us, she just sat with us, gave suggestions and helped us remember to ask the right questions of the vendors. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and reception and I told everyone that it was all because of Christina. We loved her!!
Christina Mathews, was amazing!!! Not only did she have to deal with my wife's and I's schedule and non communication due to our jobs, she had to put this together in just a few months. She also had to deal with a very difficult location and li...
ghting situation. She was with us every step of the way, from the cake to the location, she is a one stop shop. She has great contacts within her network and was able to get everything we needed. The night was beautiful and most of all she made my wife and family so happy! Thanks Christina!!!! Chris & Rosy
Christina was amazing...I can't say enough about the services she provided for us. I'm a last minute person and really didn't want to do a wedding and wouldn't have if it hadn't been for my husband’s daughter. I contacted Christina about a mont...
h before the planned date and she was able to arrange everything. I just found what I wanted online and sent her pictures of everything and she was able to make it happen. We used her to find the location of the wedding, hair and makeup, cake, flowers and pastor. She did all the work at very reasonable rate, she is worth so much more than what she charges! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get married in the St. Pete/Tampa area...she is simply wonderful!!!
Wedding: 07/02/2013
Coming from the UK where wedding 'planners' are not the norm, I cannot begin to describe how much of a difference Christina made to the planning and preparation of our beach wedding on Anna Maria Island. We wanted something fairly low key, as i...
t is a second marriage for both of us, and it was an absolutely perfect day. Christina organized EVERYTHING, even down to her choosing the flowers for my bouquet (by my request), and they were beautiful! She made the whole process painless, and completely effortless on our part... I found Christina to be prompt with her responses (mostly conducted via email), and extremely helpful. She provided us with contacts for flowers, wedding cakes, and hair and make-up, which trying to organize this from 4,500 miles away is no mean feat, but I instantly trusted Christina to make our day wonderful, and it was, and she did.
If you are from the UK, and are thinking of coming to the US to get married, don't hesitate to contact Christina, the whole process is a piece of cake, and would thoroughly and utterly recommend it! It was fabulous, as was Christina!!!
